The Girl of To-Day

If there is anything we know less
about than we think we do il IS the
Girl; and of this the girl is glad, for
there is nothing she hates to be known
about her so bad as the truth.
We have been acquainted with her
for n long time and watched her
Franks from afar, seen her cut the
"pigcon- wing and knock the "back-
step" in the backyard, when she
thought she had no spectator; but still
we don't know her.
From the time she is big enough to
swing on the gate and tie a ribbon IN
double bow knot, she begins to locate
4 sweetheart, and she keeps this up
until he is located in the backyard,
exercising his talents dissecting stovo
wood.
She may be little dull on mathe-
mates, but invariably solves the prob
lem of putting No. foot in a No. 3
shoe.
She will wear out two old dresses
running around TO find out how to
make new one in the latest style.
She will break the point off her
brothers knife TO make crack TO
peep at the strangers when they come
visiting.
She will greet you with the most be-
witching smile and laugh at your
stupidness Wien you are gone.
She will walk three blocks out of
the way to get peep at her beau, and
then pass by without looking at him
She will talk with you two hours
without being able to repeat word
you have SAID, but will know how
long you have worn your buds and
how many buttons have lost their grip.
she will attend church, listen with
absorbed interest to eloquent and pa
thetic sermons, then return home and
expatiate upon the horrible fit Of Miss
Senow's new basque.
She will go to the table, mnce over
delicacies with the most fastidious
taste, then slip back in the kitchen
and eat a raw potato.
She will wear out her best pair of
shoes dancing all day, then attend a
ball at night and complain of being
out Of practice
She will spend all night writing
earthly worded letter, in the most
precise hand, to her Simon Suggs,
then scratch off page to her sister
that Old Harry could moi read.
She will be the most devout Great.
ure on earth, and hate the earth that
Sallie Grimes walks on,
She will he industrious and econom-
zeal for a month, then spend her say,

She will slouch around the house
for week making preparations to
look neat on Sunday.
She will dirt with all the best young
men in the neighhorhood, and finally
marry some knotty .headed Jim Grow.

The Apology was Accepted

One morning while the King was

he ordered the immediate execution of
the culprit. Finally however, he con,

the offender would make an apology
more outrageous than the insult. I'M

ened break In the hours Of study would 90 far

6. Teachers should pay strict attention that

T. Sufficient interruption TO study should be
had 20 prevent fatigue Of the eyes, at least ten

NOT IN HENRlCO COUNTY.
The City EDiOined from Locating its
Hospital There.

Judge Wexford, of the Henrico
Circuit Court, yesterday, in the case OF
the county Board of Supervisors
against the city of Richmond, granted
an injunction to restrain the city from
erecting a smallpox hospital on the
Morris farm, in accordance with the
prayer of the petitioner.
The readers of the Dispatch are ia
miliar with the facts in this case. jan
uary l, 1886, the city purchased this
farm, which is situated in Henrico
county, about two and half miles
north of the city, for the purpose of
locating a hospital thereon. Five days
later an act-introduced in the House
of Delegates by ex,Judge Edmund
Waddill, Jr., at the request of the citi-
zens of the county-was approved pro-
viding that when a city wishes to
establish a hospital in a county the con
sent of the County Court and Board OF
Supervisors must first be obtained.
The city claimed that this act was
imperative in this case, as the purchase
of the property for that purpose was
equivalent to the location OF the nos
pital. To this the supervisors de-
INJURED, and to settle the matter it was
agreed that this suit should be brought.
The Court, III its written opinion,
which is a somewhat lengthy document,
holds that the law in questionis applica-
bic in this case, and that therefore the
city has no right to erect the hospital in
opposition to the wishes of the county
authorities.
The Council Committee on Health
will meet Monday afternoon to confer
with City-Attorney Meredith with refer
ence to taking an appeal.
The Common Council recently appro-
priated 81, coo with which to build this
hospital. It was tabled in the Board Of
Aldermen Judge Wexford having en-
Joined the Board from taking action
pending this decision.
